FRom 'wiki'.......During the mid- to late 1980s concerns were frequently expressed in relation to his business affairs. In 1984 his mother faced questions in the House of Commons in relation to his involvement in representing a British company Cementation, a subsidiary of Trafalgar House to build a university in Oman at a time when the prime minister was urging Omanis to buy British. He has denied claims made that in 1985 he received millions of pounds in commission in relation to the £45 billion Al-Yamamah arms deal, a controversial arms sale by BAE to Saudi Arabia which was possibly the largest arms sale ever; he has not disputed that a house in Belgravia , London was purchased for him for £1 million in 1987 by an offshore company controlled by Wafic Said, a middleman in the deal. In 1986 his mother faced questions in the House of Commons again over her son's relationship with the Sultan of Brunei. The government's PR advisers suggested that it would be best if he left the country...... |

Thanks mads...I knew he was dodgy but that.... On Have I Got News For You last Friday Ken Livingstone said he was on a paper review programme with Carol Thatcher the day news was released that Mark Thatcher was a multi millionaire and Carol said "I don't see how that can be ...he's never done a days work in his life" |

'Dodgy' doesn't do him justice; although it appears that idleness pays (if mummy makes the right connections); he's worth about £60M (most in offshore accounts)...He seems to spend most of his time in Marbella, as do a lot of ex-pat criminals, as he's banned from Switzerland, Monaco and the USA.... According to Carol, "He was always mummy's favourite"....One wonders why As for HIGNFY....the BBC recieved a lot of complaints for allowing Ken's remark. Anyone on here owning up? |

a) I wish I knew all about Adblock - I'm getting fed up with the ads on Youtube (from do no evil Google )b) I thought Maggie was wearing a strange hat but it turns out to be an anvil ..... so my anti-Thatcher reaction is confused by "Why / how has she got an anvil on her head? " It is hardly a positive image.

Doubt Adblock will do anything about YouTube ads (tho I've never tried). Re anvil - Iron Lady? |
